Continuing Care and Follow-Up

Laser Eye Surgery Aftercare

It’s important to anticipate some degree of discomfort, dryness, and blurry vision in your eyes following surgery. These sensations are entirely normal as your eyes begin the healing process. Temporary changes in your vision are to be expected, especially during the initial post-operative days. Fluctuations in vision are a natural part of the healing process, so it’s crucial to maintain patience and not be alarmed.

Your eye care specialist will provide specific post-operative instructions tailored to your surgery. Adhering closely to these guidelines is of utmost importance. These instructions are designed to facilitate a smooth and successful recovery. The use of prescribed eye drops is a critical aspect of your recovery. Follow the prescribed regimen meticulously, as these eye drops play a crucial role in minimizing discomfort, promoting healing, and ensuring the best possible visual outcome.

Attending all scheduled follow-up appointments with your eye care specialist(s) is vital. These appointments serve as crucial checkpoints in your recovery journey, allowing your specialist to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and ensure that your healing process is proceeding as expected. It’s important to acknowledge that initial fluctuations in your vision may occur. While these fluctuations can be disconcerting, remember that they are temporary and part of the healing process. Your vision will gradually stabilize over time.

If you encounter any concerns or experience unexpected issues during your recovery, don’t hesitate to contact Laser Eye and Aesthetics and/or your optometrist. Prompt communication ensures that any issues can be addressed promptly and effectively. During the initial days following surgery, prioritize rest for your eyes. Avoid straining them and protect them from potential irritants. Adequate rest and care and lubrication drops are essential for a smooth recovery.

FAQ

What is laser eye surgery?

Laser eye surgery, also known as refractive surgery, is a procedure that uses a laser to reshape the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) in order to correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. During the procedure, a laser is used to remove a small amount of tissue from the cornea, thereby altering its shape. By reshaping the cornea, the laser helps to correct the way light enters the eye, improving vision.

Is laser eye surgery painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during laser eye surgery. Anaesthetic eye drops are used to numb the eye, and some patients may feel slight pressure or a sensation of an instrument near the eye. After the procedure, there may be some mild discomfort or dryness, but this can typically be managed with eye drops and subsides within a few days.

What are the potential risks and complications of laser eye surgery?

While laser eye surgery is generally considered safe, like any surgical procedure, it carries some risks. Possible complications include dry eyes, glare or halos around lights, fluctuating vision, overcorrection or undercorrection of vision, infection, and vision loss (rare). It’s important to discuss these risks with your eye care professional.

How long does it take to recover from laser eye surgery?

The recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure performed. With LASIK, most people experience improved vision within a day or two and can resume normal activities within a week. PRK may require a longer recovery period, with vision gradually improving over several weeks. Your eye care professional will provide specific instructions for your recovery.
